Say Joe was hired as an employee of a staffing company but does not work at the location of his employer (the staffing company) ever. Upon hire he is instead assigned immediately to a client location which is to last 10 months (January to November) upon which time he may be assigned to another client at another location but all within the same state. Since the assignment is temporary, can Joe if he itemizes take deductions for his meals and commuting expenses exceeding 2% of AGI or are they disallowed? Thanks.

DONE!

Why would they be disallowed? It's like the “travelling salesman,” he can deduct all of his unreimbursed business expenses (with limitations of course).
